Crystal and Molecular Structure of N-[1-(3-Aminopropyl)imidazole]-3,5-di-t-butylsalicylaldimine

Abstract

A new compound N-[1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole]-3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldimine (C₂₁H₃₁N₃O) has been obtained from the reaction of 5 mmol 3,5-DTB in 20 ml absolute ethanol and 5 mmol 1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole in 10 ml ethanol, with the addition of 3 - 4 drop of acetic acid. The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined by the X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/n with lattice parameters a = 9.2609(8)Å, b = 22.665(2)Å, c = 10.0975(8)Å, β = 100.400(7)° and Z = 4.
